Toshiro frowned in frustration as Caster dodged out of the way of another blast of ice and launched another volley of light beams at him. Forcing the captain to block them with another shield of ice.
'This is getting us nowhere…' Toshiro thought to himself. 'As long as she is drawing power from the ley lines. That servant can continue to cast powerful spells like that to counter my Bankai indefinitely and even with all the moisture in the air at my disposal she can dodge and teleport herself out of the way of any of my techniques even when I try to trap her' he then furrowed his brow. 'My best bet is to use Tensō Jūrin to freeze the entire area…but given her teleportation range is unknown even that may not work and that is not getting into the issue of endangering everyone else in the city…unless I try something a bit more orthodox'
But then just when Toshiro was about to change tactics, the caster's expression changed to one of shook and then immediately called up Kuzki who was busy fighting Nemu to her side. Then they teleported away in a bunch of violet magical particles, much to Toshiro's confusion.
When Caster arrived at her temple, she cursed herself to see her servant's corpse.
"Useless fool…" she muttered bitterly. "What good is having a servant if they can't defeat their assigned enemies?"
Kuzuki then looked towards Caster. "What should we do now?"
The Servant then thought long and stretched her senses across the battlefield. " Well from what I can tell, one of the captains has fallen and both servants and masters have survived if barely so the battle is even for now…"She then smiled cruelty so I believe if we retreat here for now and wait to see if whenever the other servants and Shinigami wipe each other out"
Kuzuki then nodded in agreement.
But then he snapped his head up and looked over to the temple gate as sense two power sensed vile presence along with Caster.
"Well isn't this our lucky day…" The voice of Shinji spat out when he finally walked up to the gates. He revealed himself to now have an extremely muscular physique and wore a pair of black pants, gray sneakers, and an open gray vest sleeveless vest that showed off his arms and toned chest, with both of his hands in his pockets…while sporting a cocky yet sinister grin.
Alongside him stood a huge black roped shadow-like-like entity that resembled some sort of jellyfish.
"I figured it would be a boring pick-up job to pick up a corpse from here after that captain defeated that servant while Evservantelse was fighting. He then chucked. "But now we have a full pair!"
Caster then looked annoyed. "Just who exactly are you two?" She asked in a displeased voice. But Shinji's grin only winded.
"None of your concern now…" Then by moving the right foot a flash of green light was illuminated beneath it and before Caster could notice anything. Shinji was right in front of her. " But you"ll get an acquitted soon enough!"
However just before he could land a blow on the Servant. Kazui immediately punched Shinji in the face with enough force to snap his neck and sent him spinning and flying into a nearby tree. "While taking a moment to recover her breath.
'That boy's movements…' She thought with concern. 'I couldn't even see them even when I was looking directly at him' She then looked over to the crash sight and smirked. 'However it seems that Kuzui has taken care of-'
A snicking crack then was then heard as Caster to her shock saw Shinji casually getting up despite his broken neck!
"Man…" Shinji spoke out in an unnaturally calm tone that held no hint of pain or fear, before immediately twisting his neck left and right to set back back in place with a sicking crunch. "I knew he said that this mystic code would be essential if I wanted to survive against the servants and the Shinigami…" he then turned his attention to Kuzuki with amusement. "But I never thought I would need it against another master"
Kuzuki then paused for a moment, rushed at Shinji again, and attacked him multiple times with each strike holding enough force to shatter the boy's bones and squash his internal organs several times over.
Yet no matter how many strikes he delivered the Matou shrugged them off and healed himself within seconds, while still sporting that same smug smirk.
Frustrated Caster decided to aid her Master by conjuring a blast of fire at Shinii hoping to reduce his seemingly immortal body to ash. Only for it to be blocked by a wave of shadow tentacles. Which then proceeded to attack the Servant.
Caster then tries to counter tentacles by conjuring several rays of light at them, but the tentacles easily overpower the spell and stab right through her chest much to her shock and horror, and with such force that her hood came down from her head, revealing Caster's pointed ears, long blue hair and beautiful face now filled with fright and worse of all she then noticed her own body was slowly and gradually getting broken down by the tentacles.
Yet even that was overshadowed when she turned her head and saw the state of her beloved Kuzuki. The once powerful martial artist man was now breathing heavily and barely standing while Shinji just stood there and absorbed all of his mana into his right hand with its palm now having a yellow eye with blue veins and a red iris.
"SOUICHIROU!" she screamed out in pain, fright, and sheer utter helplessness until she was completely devoured by the dark tentacles.
Meanwhile,e during Soi-Fon's battle with Rider, things continue to escalate between them, as the Servant nimbly dodges Soifon's wind blast from her Shunko, while the former deflects numerous dagger chains from the server with ease.
"Damn…" Soifon cursed at herself while deflecting another chain. "if I was at full power I would have crushed this servent by now…"She then looks back at Rider's unblinking stare. "But because of those eyes, others all the enchantments I gain from Shunko have virtually nullified" she then growled. "Even avoiding eye contact with her is pointless…" Then an idea forms within Soi-fon's head. "Unless…"
Rider seeing that Soi-fon has stopped in her assault summons a pair of chains to land on then pushes herself up to the captain while activating her monstrous strength. Hoping to overpower her foe with her assault.
But then The commander of the stealth force a spell.
This resulted in a huge explosion of smoke that obscured her form, which Rider countered by flipping over the smoke screen and landing on a nearby rooftop while waiting for the captain to come out. Then to the Herorspirit'st's surprise the smoke cloud and then swirled into a huge cyclone that engulfed Rider forcing her to cover her eyes. Then she felt a powerful kick connecting ton her right rib and sending her flying and crashing Into a nearby building when the Servant got up She tried to find the Captain but all She could see was swirling red smoke.
"So it would seem those eyes of yours can't see through screens…" Soi-fon taunted as she raised herShikaii. "Unfortunate for you since I am not limited by a single sense!" using her Spiritual sense Soifon then attacks Rider repeatedly with her Shikai, while Servernt struggles to evade and block the captain's attacks.
Not because she wasn't able to Fight blind as she Was already used to that Due to wearing breaker to Gorgon most of the time, but rather because she could barely keep Couldhbarelyon's increase increased even with her monster equivalent Of it, and before long, Her entire body was covered in multiple hakama markings.
"Are you ready to give up Servant?" Soi-fon spoke in a cold yet arrogant tone. Because if you do, I will make sure that your death will be quiet"
Rider then knitted her eyes…and then smiled.
"The only quick death here…" she then raised her daggers.
"Well be yours!"
Then to Soi-fon's surprise, Rider shed her blood with her dagger, and as the droplets Of blood fell into they then stopped in ir Before forming a Magical Circle.
And what emerged from It Left Soi-Fon Speechless.
It was a Great Pegasus, with pure white fur and huge feathery wings like an angel, as Rider used the beast to rid of the red-dusted cyclone. Before Hovering Up High Into The Air And Staring Down at The Captain.
"A Pegasus, born from your blood…" Soi-Fon glared at her opponent. "And a gaze that can turn, people into stone" Shee tightened her fists. "I rather not jump to conclusions, but there is no denying it now…you are not a past hero But One of the Three dreaded Monsters Who Haunted the Shapeless Isle" She then raised her Shikai. "The Gorgon Medusa"
Rider then let out A prideful laugh. "I Am Surprise a Shinigami Would That Knowledge about my Legend? Yes, I along with my sisters are among those so-called monsters That So many Human heroes Hunted Down for Glory" Her expression then became cold and stern. "And you will soon Be Joining Then"
The servant Then Conjured A golden Lasso From her Hands and hosted it over the Peguea's Head like a bridle which then Caused The Majestic Beast's eyes to flash Red And roared out in Fury before Soi-fon could counter The mighty beast and Rider rushed Across Sky like a Blazing white Comet Before Surging Right down at the captain with Tremendous and forcing the later to just barely dodge out of its path at the last Second.
'That Beast's power…is not only on the level of a Bankai is almost faster than me!' she thought and immediately kept herself on the move as Rider began to make another attack and Soi-fon let out a resigned breath.
'Then it seems I have no choice...'
Soi-fon then used a flash to appear high above the city and then righted herself on the reshi platform to avoid casualties. She then stared down at the charging Pegasus, with Medusa at first thinking that the Shinigami was residing herself to her death.
But in truth...the commander of the stealth force was simply leading the Servant into a false sense of security.
For the very moment, Rider got within fifty feet of reaching Soi-Fon, the captain then immediately unleashed her Bankai Jakuhō Raikōben and shot the giant golden missile directly at the dark Heroic spirit point-blank range.d
Meanwhile in FukuyParkrk, Ichigo and Saber continue to face off against each other, with Saber completely on the defensive, as she uses her superior experience to parry And Dodge Ichigo's blows, while trying to find a hole in Ichigo's defense.
Then suddenly they both stopped when heard and felt a loud noise in the distance and when they followed it. They looked up in shock upon seeing an explosion high up in the air that burned with a brilliant light.
While Ichigo held a somber expression.
"Guess she was forced to use Bankai in order to take out a Servent and their noble phantasm" he concluded and then shifted his gaze toward Saber. "So are you going to use your noble phantasm too…or do I need to force it out of you?"
Saber then stared at Ichigo for a long moment and let out a deep breath of resignation. "Very well…for it seems rather pointless in keeping my identity hidden any longer…" she then focused her gaze on the Shinigami and the invisible air that found her sword began to surge like araptoro id twister. "But be warned…for when I warned the true form of my blade, neither the earth nor the heaven themselves can stand before its glory!"
Then before Ichigo's eyes as the wind began to unravel itself, he saw something shine golden in the center of the whirlwind, and in response he readied his Zangetsu with both of his hands.
